WiFi [un][known] connections keep coming back, no removal.

WiFi [un][known] connections keep coming back, no removal.
In my Windows 10 Wifi section, I have some unknown and known connections that will not stay away.
Some do not have a remove button, how can I prevent a few connections to not come back?
My spectrum 2G and 5G connections have been replaced by spectrumsetup-[two digit number].
While that one auto-connects, my former 2G or my former 5G keeps coming back into attempted play.

Because this is causing a little havoc within my network, I am also posting in bleepingcomputer.

To be clear what your saying is you see other wifi connection when looking for a connection? This is normal its just other routers within range

I wouldn't mind the 00-2G and the 00-5G just sitting, doing nothing.
It's just that sometimes the cancelled-by-Spectrum 00-5G connection worms its way into my WiFi, and causes a little bit of a hiccup.
I can see it in my lower right notifications taskbar now and then.

Exactly what is the problem? Do you just mean that undesired networks appear in this list?

"Remove"? Where are you looking?

Are you saying that you renamed some networks or what?
What hiccup?
Windows does not create the networks you detect.
I suggest you check what networks your router is generating.

Best of luck,

FYI:

Remove unwanted profiles that you have connected to:

Delete Wireless Network Profile in Windows 10

Add nearby networks to blocked filter list:

Add or Remove Wireless Network from Filter in Windows 10

Get their SSID's here:

WifiInfoView - WiFi Scanner for Windows 10/7/8/Vista

Disable SSID Broadcast via your router. Check router settings for that.

How to enable or disable SSID Broadcast on Wi-Fi Router

All: Thanks for your input! As soon as I return to the laptop, will follow the advice. @Callender - I will start with yours. :)

If your router is using the same ssid for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, simply name one different. then you can choose which band to connect to. That if if your router has "Use different names and passwords for 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi"

The other stuff I posted relates to networks other than yours.
